I use to eat sushi before I went plant-based, but never really thought about making a plant-based substitute. I found this recipe on instagram from Plant You, and my boyfriend made it for me one day. I was shocked! I could not believe that this was watermelon!! It was so flavorful and tasted nothing like fruit! We have made it before to eat as a side dish, or you can use it as a topping in a poke bowl or salad. The most recent time we made it, we used it in homemade sushi rolls. I can’t wait for you to try this!
